Locally cloned repository not syncing

January 9, 2023

I have a .git repository and when a clone it, its not syncing. When i run "git branch", i’m receiving the branch "master", but that it’s not sync when i make changes in the original project folder.

how can i sync the master branch in another directory?

My directory tree:

folder
 |_ Project
 |    |_ .git
 |
 |_ Another Folder 
 |    |_ Project
 |         |_ .git

commands that i runed:

PS c:Another Folder>: git clone "c:Project/.git"

>Solution :

For cloning a remote (or local) repository, it must be setup as "bare". Without this initial condition you can’t clone from it.

In order to clone from a local repository, you can use the following command: git clone --local {path-to-repo}. This will create a clone which you can use for regular git tasks (add, rebase, merge, push, etc.).

Note that you can also convert an existing regular (cloned) repository to a bare repository for cloning with git config --bool core.bare true.
